What a fantastic Day at Boeing’s Museum of Flight. It was American Heroes Air Show at the museum. A day dedicated to the men and women that keep America safe by protecting our borders, fighting crime, rescuing us when we are lost or in peril, and saving lives when immediate medical care is required. The [...] Granted, it’s been almost a week since the Blues flew at SeaFair 2010, but I do have a day job after all, and picking and processing photos is a time consuming affair. Regardless, here are some of the highlights from the fun on 7-Aug-2010 at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. Weather was pretty [...] I took a few shots of some UAVs at the Museum of flight, for my friends on the Radio Control forums. Lockheed Martin RQ-3A Dark Star Dark Star UAV Insitu Areosonde Laima Small Research UAV Small Research UAV Small Research UAV Fieseler Fi 103 “V1 Buzz Bomb” German V-1 Buzz [...] Between myself and my daughter, we took almost 2000 images at SeaFair 2010. In this blog entry, I will be uploading a handful that really struck me as interesting or good. Here is the first, and so far, my favorite photo from the weekend.
Sunday 8-August-2010 Blue Angles over Boeing Field – Landing [...] A few nights back, I had the opportunity to try my hand again, at some night photography of the helicopters. This time the subject is an EC-135 EuroCopter Air Ambulance. Photography at Harrison’s Hospital during lift-off. AirLift Northwest EC-135 AirLift Northwest EC-135 AirLift Northwest EC-135 AirLift Northwest EC-135 AirLift [...] It’s been months since I have seen this bird at Harrisons. It’s a great looking example of the EC-135 Eurocopter. I’d more recently seen another EC-135, but it had much different livery, but still flew with the AirLift Northwest logo: EC-135 N139AM Here are a few of the photos I took today:
The last couple of days have been pretty nice. I had my older 20D camera body loaded with the 100-400L Zoom and next to my desk. More than a few times a week, the AirLift Northwest helicopters bring people into the trauma center at Harrisons. So, I decided to snap a few pics. They [...] While talking about cool places to go, I was looking up links to St. Maarten (visited there in 2001). Which, inevitably brings me to look up YouTube videos of landings there. Here are a few that I really liked.. the last one gives you a REAL feel for how hairball that approach is! Airbus A340 [...] What the FAA indicates was a photo-op fly-by, coordinated with state and federal authorities, a Boeing 747 escorted by two F-16 interceptors, was flown down over the Hudson river (same approach pattern used by the killers on 9/11). The sight caused a couple of buildings near the World Trade Center crater, to be evacuated.
What possesses someone to shine a laser into the cockpit of an aircraft? And not just any aircraft but a commercial jet with hundreds of innocent lives aboard? Around 8:00PM tonight it happened again on the approach to SeaTac (SEA). This even was widely reported on by the local news. Last year a man was [...] |
